I know what you mean, Rex. The Defiant looks pretty businesslike, has a snout not unlike a Hurry's and four guns for the guy in the back. Just the turret, guns, ammo and gunner weighed too much (almost 1,000 lbs more than the Hurricane). The Rolls-Royce was a damn fine power plant, but even it struggled to make something that heavy go fast.

Did a pretty good job in the night-figther role, tho'.
